THE WATERS OF LIFE.
An Invitation Held Forth TO All TO
pariake of Them.


At the Centenary church yesterday morn
ing Rev. c. A. Van Anda delivered an in
teresting sermon on the Water of Life"
His text was: Rev. xii, 14-''The grace
of God is here represented by water. AS
water cleanses and refreshes, so the spirit
of God purities and invlgOrateS' The
reverend gentleman said:
This symbol frequently occurs in the scrip
lures. Isaiah says: Therefore with Joy shall
We draw water out of the wells of SALVATION
And in hair ony with the text he says "Ho
every one that thirsteth, come We to the
waters Our Savior uses the same figure
He says: HE that drinketh of the water that
l shall give him shall never thirst; but the
water that shall give him shall be in him a
we'll of water springing into everlasting life.'
Salvation is not only provided for men freely,
but it is pressed upon them In the
most earnest and loving manner First
the spirit of God invites men to be
saved. He convinces the world of sin, of
righteousness and of Judgment. He gives
spiritual life to the soul dead in trespasses and
sins; gives sorrow and hatred for sin; gives
love and desire for holiness, and power of
will to break off our sins by righteousness and
our inlquities by turning to God. Again the
bride, i. e., the church, says 'Come to the
water of life." The church by her ordinances,
songs of praise, her prayers, her living min
istry, her schools, religious publications and
the example OF her cody members, says con-
tinually, Come" Then let every one hear
ing the good news tell his furnishing neighbors
the good news. He need not wait until the
church commissions him; let him begin at
once. He has heard that water is found, that
just beyond there is a flowing fountain. Even
before he reaches it himself let him shout to
his dying felowmen that there is fountain
opened in the house Of David and to the inhab-
itants of Jerusalem for sin and uncleanness.
Then lest the church should be untrue to her
mission, or some poor soul should be denied
her .ministrations, living where the church
has never been established, let him who
thirsteth come. Every dissatisfied, restless,
unhappy soul, let him not stand on ceremony.
but let him know that the very desire to drink
is an invitation. Then, lastly, lest some one
would not know his own heart, and doubt
whether his was real thirst or not, let who
soever will, come. We have all been invited
repeatedly, and still some of us refuse to
come. Jesus stands at the door, and knocks,
but we refuse to open the door. o, remem-
Der He ceased to invite the anti-deuvians;
He ceased to cali the Jewish nation and if
we refuse too long, we shall call and He will
not answer. May the Holy Spirit. who is
calling now, give us strength to accept the
invitation with gladneSS.

The police commission should use all nos

of the work in completing its organization of

the force is in a very demOralized condition.
An army should not be kept on continual
dress parade
w. E. Burwell-There are some matters
that should not get into the papers, even by
way of denial. For instance, rumor may
get out that bank is shakey and investiga-
ton will show there is nothing in it, but at
the same time a report that such a rumor is
without foundation will do almost as much
damage as the publication of the uncorrected
rumor.
While the Tribune lodges the proposition
made by L. NJ. Stewart, it has succeeded in
abundantly advertising its proprietor Mr.
Bethen's name appeared yesterday twice in
the editorial and nine times in the news col

printers to have the name stereotyped.
There was not single saloon open in Min
neapoliS yesterday. Fact. Such a saloon
would have been singular indeed.
The customary S o'clock Sunday evening
fire alarm came last night, and, as usual,
there was nothing in it. These alarms only
serve for the purpose of disturbing good
Christians who are in the midst of hymn at
the time.
1t was once the belief that Manager
Conkln thought he was good looking, but
after seeing picture of himself printed
yesterday he has undoubtedly changed his
mind. AS for Treasurer Parker, that bang
in the center of his forehead now stands
straight out in wild Indignation.
The latest advices from Bismarck say that

ness the Faribault anarchists choked st. Paul
and Minneapolis into laying down. Fargo
talks of the future with the same lofty dis
dain as if there were no Bismarck. Bismarck
is equally oblivious of the city on the Red.
They are evidently preparing up there for

"LOST AND FOUND.n
The Shepherd Sought His Sheep,
the Father Sought His Child.

Rev. L. l.. Morrill, preached at the Calvary
Baptist church last evening upon Lost
and Found;'' Luke Xv., ST.
In the Roman catacombS. which the early
Christians made a refuge from their pers G.
cutters, is found the imagery of the shepherd
bearing the lamb on his shoulders. The
remembrance of one VINO was the ''She pherd
and Bishop of their SOULS assuageu their
recent bereavement and strengthened them
for impending martyrdom. Jesus called him
self the good shepherd" and in the para bic
gives US an object lesson which illustrates
the profound and vital truths of the Bible in
a way the child can understand and the
wisest must admire. He who made nothing
in vain never spoke without an object in
view Christ was no mere rhetorician, and
the parable shows how the son of man came
to seek and to save men who were lost, dead
in trespasses and sins Man dis
likes to be called sinner, he de-

says, This is eternal life to know Thee the

madness and the four gospels are the history
of senseless monstrous tragedy. That soul

exposed to the storm and flash of Sinais

But the shepherd sought his sheep-the

THE Fatal REVOLVER.
C. vi. WEIGH Loses His Life by An
Accidental Shot.

Clayton NJ. Welch. former merchant of
Baraboo, Wis, who came to Minneapolis
three weeks ago to go into the real estate
business, lost his life yesterday afternoon
by the accidental discharge of a revolver
at his residence, 627 Jewett place. He had
intended going TO st. Paul about o'clock,
and was evidently in the act Of putting his
revolver into his inside overcoat pocket
when it was discharged. His wife,
who was in the kitchen. heard the report
and rushing into the sitting-rOom saw her
husband standing with the revolver still in
his hand. He exclaimed 81 am not hurt
and fell to the floor, expiring
moment later. DR.. Hill was summoned,
and all examination proved that the ball
had entered the left side almost directly
over the heart. There is no doubt that
the shot was accidental, and no in
quest is likely to be held. The
deceased was 35 years old, and leaves
a wife and child. His sister, Mrs. E. W.
Vaughn. lives at 71S Jewett place. At
sBaraboo he was leading business man,
and was generally respected and liked.

men of Minneapolis were members of the
churches. The percentage in each business
was given, and it was found that
the majority of the business men
belonged. This rule lid not hold
good, however. with clerks, bookkeepers,
and the like. This report is called to mind
by the fact that number of business men
have determined to inaugurate series of
noon prayer meetings for men at the
Murphy club rooms, on Hennepin avenue
The first meeting will be held this noon.
These meetings will be held in turn by six
clergymen of the city, who will take turn

PR AN "a.
ssTheil Men Began 10 Call Upon the
Name Of the Lord.''


Name Of the L0rd.''
Rev. j. j. Hall preached in the First
Free Baptist church on the subject of
Prayer" selecting for his text the words
He will be very gracious unto thee at the
voice of thy cry; when He shall hear it He
will answer thee" Isaiah XXX, 10. Mr.
Hall said:
Here we have one of the many exceeding
great and precious promises given to all who
wait upon God in prayer. Christians were
not the first to pray. Far back in the annals
OF human history we read Then began men
TO call upon the name of the Lord Aud if we
go outside of the Bible records we shall find
that in all ages men have made much Of prayer.
And, in tact. there is nothing III ere natural
than prayer, and if sin had not divorced the
heart from God all men everywhere would
pray to the Most High. All nature teaches
prayer. The Shrek OF the bird, the bleating
of the lamb, the Cry of the babe for its
mother, and q thousand other voices and ut
teranceS are suggestive of the cry OF the
soul to its God. Men may say what they
please about the fOoliShneSs Of prayer, l have
yet to ind the first person to whom the
knowledge that somewhere somebody was
praying for him did not afford pleasure
Some way love those lines of Tennyson's:
More things are wrought by prayer than
this world dreams of; wherefore let thy voice
rise like q fountain for me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or goats
that Dourish blind life within the brain. if,
knowing God they lift not hands of prayer
both for themselves and those who call them
friend? For so the whole round earth is
every way bound by gold chains about the feet
of God
PRAYER is the cry of one for hep-the ex-
preston of ones desires for the good of
others; mans recognition of his own weak
ness and his dependence upon God. Prayer
is The tender tie that binds God
and man together; prayer is the
golden thread reaching from human
1ty's bleeding heart TO the sympathetic
bosom of the Almighty. 1t is the angel that
leads us along the lonely paths and the dark
ways and places our trembling hand is that
of the divine Father. L know men raise OBJ
jections to the efficacy of prayer. We are
reminded of the fiXity of law. the unchanga-
bleness of God. But do we so reason with
other things? Is God an unconscious, un-
sympathetic being? Did He create this world
and people it with His own offspring and give
it laws and leave it to take care of itSelfi
Nay. The matchmaker may adjust tho
watch and put it under his pillow and then go
to sleep, but not so with our God. Aud while
the world Is as IL is and God is what He is
there will, there must be, prayer Let us
rejoice in the privilege and avail ourselves
Of its power.

The nanz CONCERT.

The general impression left on the minds
of the large number of people who listened
to the eleventh DanZ concert yesterday
afternoon was less pleasing than any of its
predecessors had produced. There was one
number which has not been eXcelled in
beauty by anything which the orchestra has
given this winter, and at least four more
were fully up "a the high standard
deservedly popular. but either from an un
fortunate arrangement of the programme,
or because the music as whole was not so
pleasing as Conductor DAM has usually
chosen, the audience was much less cordial
than usual.
The concert opened with the overture
Raymond" by Thomas. The music was
at times very brilliant, and was given with
the proper amount of energy. The second
number was the allegro movement
of Ratf's symphony, zine Valdez
Mr. DAM has now given this symphony
entire having presented the allegro acceler-
alto. andante. SchurZo and allegro. one
movement at each of four concerts. 1t is
doubtful if any work done by the orchestra
has been more successfully rendered or has
left a pleasanter impression. Bach's air
for the strings followed. and proved
to be the gem of the con-
cert. The melody is very beautiful
The audience at its close gave
an enthusiastic encore, for which the
number was repeated. The solo of the
day was an aria and cabaletta from Verdi's
'Ernanie," by A. w, Porter. The music
was well adapted to Mr.. Porter's deep bass
voice and peculiar style. The ballet music
and serenata were the least pleasing
numbers on the programme, Gear
das', proved beautiful thing
Oberon is too we'll known to need more
than passing mention. The last regular
concert of the series will be given May /.
after which Conductor DAM proposes to
give request programme. This will be
given ON the 18th proX., and the selections
